The Holocaust and Climate Change – Past Meets Future in Hillersleben

Posted on September 24, 2019 by climatechangefork

I have often reflected here upon my past experiences as a Holocaust survivor and have likened climate change to a self-inflicted genocide. One of my main objectives in this summer’s globetrotting trip was to look at the intersection between my … Continue reading →

Ocean Health Issues – How Do We Measure Health?

Posted on June 5, 2018 by climatechangefork

Last week’s blog was an introduction to the vulnerabilities that we face with the deterioration of our oceans. It paid particular attention to the recently published study of evidence associating the 4th mass extinction with ocean deoxygenation – which effectively … Continue reading →

Vulnerabilities: Water Stress

Posted on May 1, 2018 by climatechangefork

Figure 1 in last week’s blog listed key impacts of climate change as a function of increasing global temperature relative to the average temperature between 1980 and 1999. Based on NASA measurements (Figure 2 in the same blog), we have … Continue reading →

Vulnerabilities: Global Environmental Refugees

Posted on April 3, 2018 by climatechangefork

I am not the only one to predict (February 3, 2015 and October 3, 2017) that continuing our practices in a business as usual scenario will lead to destruction of the physical environment as we know it – as well … Continue reading →

Vulnerabilities

Posted on March 27, 2018 by climatechangefork

My last five blogs (starting on February 20, 2018) have focused on some key indicators of the global energy transition as they relate to climate change and the IPAT identity. I examined the 12 most populous countries, which together represent … Continue reading →

The Extended Golden Rule

Posted on October 20, 2015 by climatechangefork

Last week I looked at how Pope Francis used the Golden Rule “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Mt 7:12) as an anchor for his call for global change. I ended with an attempt to … Continue reading →

Desalination: The Science

Posted on October 8, 2013 by climatechangefork

I discussed the effects of climate change on the water cycle in a previous blog (September 3). I focused on the fact that while the water cycle is not a perfect cycle, our planet, whose surface consists of 70% water, … Continue reading →

Water Recycling

Posted on September 10, 2013 by climatechangefork

As I have discussed previously, the Earth does not lack for water in general; instead, it is the serious shortage of fresh water that inflicts stresses all around the world. This trend is projected to get even worse as a … Continue reading →
